Charleston Guitar

The city sleeps, but you’re wide awake

Drinking alone with that old heartache

Remembering how she used to reach out for you

And hold you so tight, the whole night through

You light another cigarette, as the sun begins to shine

So you reach for your guitar

And pull down the blinds

Charleston guitar

Is strummin’ the strings of your broken heart

You sing all your songs to someone who’s gone

She left you in Charleston all alone with your guitar

In the same old club, you sing there every night

Those Carolina blues in the neon light

Those are the songs that your daddy taught you

Now you realise, what your momma would do

So you drink a little more, to chase the pain away

But what’s coming tomorrow

Just more sad yesterdays

Charleston guitar

Is strummin’ the strings of your broken heart

You sing all your songs to someone who’s gone

She left you in Charleston all alone with your guitar

Sweet Charleston guitar

Sweet Charleston
